- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp dijon mustard

Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the fresh pasta and cook according to package directions until just tender, about 2–3 minutes. During the last 90 seconds of cooking, add the asparagus and broccoli florets to the same pot. Drain everything together through a colander, then rinse under cold running water until the pasta and vegetables are completely cool.

While the pasta cooks, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, grated garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
